Somaliland: UK Provides legal Aid to Vulnerable Citizens within the Criminal Justice System


HARGEISA— In 2019 Bukhari Abdi, 15, was sentenced to two years in prison for stealing a phone in a small town between Hargeisa and Berbera. The phone he stole was worth $50 USD.

While serving his sentence at Mandera prison, Bukhari met Nimco, a paralegal officer working at the UK-supported Horizon Institute, an organization working to provide legal empowerment to the most vulnerable members of Somaliland society.
Bukhari was receiving a legal education course for juvenile prisoners in June 2019, and explained his case to Nimco. He asked for help in how he could appeal his case. Bukhari was already past the 30-day deadline for filing an appeal when he met Nimco. She was able to reopen Bukhari’s appeal.
The judge ruled that if the $50 value of the phone was repaid to the victim, he would release him. Bukhari’s father repaid the value of the phone and Bukhari was released in September 2019.
